Louvre Fence
A louvre fence is the answer for garden and terrace boundaries that need to block the view but still let the wind through.
The louvres are folded from galvanised steel sheet and the uprights are galvanised profile. Folding the sheet gives each louvre the behaviour of a beam; under its own weight and under wind it deflects far less than a flat sheet of the same thickness.
Louvre spacing sets the balance between privacy and wind load. A completely closed surface reduces the view to nothing but catches the wind like a sail and puts a large overturning moment on the uprights. Spaced louvres break the sightline, let air through, and make the system both safer and longer lived.
The oven-baked powder coating sits on top of the galvanising as a second layer of protection. The powder is drawn electrostatically to the whole surface of the louvre and fuses to it in the oven, so it resists corrosion and weather markedly longer than paint applied on site.
Frequently asked questions
Because spaced louvres let part of the wind pass through, the load on the system drops noticeably compared with a closed panel. On exposed elevations facing the wind we tighten the upright spacing and enlarge the foundations.
Oven-baked powder coating is far more durable than painting on site. Planning a colour change at the production stage costs less and lasts longer than painting in place a few years afterwards.
